Summary from the TLDR Crypto newsletter

This thread explores the increasing trend toward horizontal blockchain scalability. This method, unlike vertical scaling, distributes workloads across numerous nodes, allowing networks to expand by adding more machines. Vertical scaling, on the other hand, improves a single machine's abilities. Both methods have their merits, but horizontal scaling ultimately ensures global scalability and is hailed as the future of blockchain systems.
